Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement
I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"The web interface is great — very useful and user-friendly."
"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"Intelligent alerting to avoid the common problem of alert fatigue associated with traditional SIEMs."
"Great coverage of all systems within our network from endpoint to firewall."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. As a cloud tool, the product is highly scalable."
"The solution provides satisfying native integration features"
"It improved my organization by building a security alerting program."
"The XDR capabilities are very good."
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"The response is a valuable aspect of SentinelOne."
"Incident response is one of the key areas where the solution has been very useful. Whenever there is an incident, instead of being reactive, the government is now able to quickly gain the data that it needs to see what its end agency is also seeing and partner with them in real-time to look at the same data and to collaborate where needed, empowering the agency to be able to do their job."
"Having high visibility into all of our network concerns and a customizable UI are the most valuable features."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"SentinelOne enhances our customers' risk management."
 

Cons

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"The reporting is the weakest aspect. There needs to be multi-level grouping for events (for example, group by user and destination). Right now, we can do a group by user and a separate table or group by destination. But I'd be more interested in where a person was logging into instead of who was logging in or where he was logging in."
"Customised alert recipients need to be added to allow better first-line action and quicker response. Configurable honeypots would be a welcome addition."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is not intuitive to search for logs. It should be more user-friendly and improve the dashboards. We should be able to use ready-made templates instead of having to build one."
"The interface for doing investigation needs to be enhanced with minor improvements that would make it more useful."
"I would like the ability to adjust the threshold of certain existing alerts. Currently the only option is to change the notifications or create my own alert."
"The dashboard is an area that could be simplified."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"To enhance our already strong partnership with SentinelOne, we should focus on improving collaboration."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"One area for improvement would be the self-healing nature of the agent."
"We haven't received the expected support whenever we've had questions."
"The primary reason for this discontent is that we frequently encounter performance issues with our servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a mid-range price point in the market"
"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR is a cheaply priced product. On a scale of one to ten, where one is very expensive, and ten is very cheap, I rate the product's price at seven or eight."
"Licensing is by endpoint and amount of retention time (at least ours is). Default retention was one year, but we are able to push the retention further if needed. There's also a provide-your-own-S3 option for longer retention if you don't want to pay for the additional retention years in your Rapid7 agreement."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable but we have challenges with the Minimum Order Quantity. It is not reasonable for customers who have less than one hundred devices. If they can reduce Minimum Order Quantity, it is good. You have to pay around 5000-6000 dollars per year for the product. The pricing includes maintenance and support costs."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"​Accurately predict your licensing counts as this is a subscription based product.​"
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
"Ideally, I would like SentinelOne to lower their prices a little bit."
"The price is affordable."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing charges associated with the product...I think the prices associated with the product are okay and it is not too expensive."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"As a SentinelOne partner, we offer competitive pricing on comprehensive packages that include the SentinelOne license, our management services, and a proof-of-concept to ensure the technology meets your needs."
